Geek Girl in Training

The cool, fall breeze is in the air and you have Halloween on your brain. You want to show off your geekiness or geek girl in training-ness and still look geek chic. Here are 10 costumes to help you get your geek on.

This very unscientific list was compromised of results from internet research, Facebook and Twitter results, my husband’s input, and my own personal tastes. The list was actually very hard to whittle down to just 10. I automatically eliminated costumes that were female versions of male costumes, e.g. Ironette or a female Ghostbuster. The costume had to represent a geek girl character on its own. Plus, the costume had to be appealing to make the cut. I sometimes picked a costume that was inspired by the character and not the officially licensed one, if it was better looking. Fashion first!

10. Black Widow from

This black jumpsuit from the Iron Man 2 movie reminds me of an updated version of Cat Woman. I have never seen Iron Man 1 or 2, so it is definitely on my list. (I am so behind on my geeky movies.) However, I like this costume and the people have spoken.

9. Princess Peach from

Yes, it is true that I have never owned a Nintendo game system, and most of my princess knowledge is from Walt Disney. However, everybody knows Super Mario Brothers. Plus, every girl needs a reason to be pretty as a princess. Just think about how many guys will come up to you and say, “Hey it’s me, Mario.”

8. Hermione Granger from

Albeit a sexy version of a female wizard, but still enough to satisfy Harry Potter fans. Plus, the guys will appreciate the school girl “charm.”

7. Asajj Ventress from

Because of my recent interview with Ashley Eckstein

6. Padme Amidala from

Yes, back-to-back Star Wars! I had to include the beloved Padme, and this costume is hot! This is an officially licensed Star Wars costume.

5. Chun Li from

My real familiarity with Chun Li came from a spoof video I did, entitled, “The Truth Behind the Street Fighter Movie!”

4. Silk Spectre from

Now, I did see Watchmen! I always loved her outfit, right down to the wig!

3. Neytiri from

There’s no doubt that the movie was a big hit and the costume seems to be just as popular. I saw quite a few Neytiri on the streets of Las Vegas, during our weddingmoon. People would pay to take a picture with them.

2. Wonder Woman from the

I have always been a huge fan of Wonder Woman, since I was child. Does the model look familiar? I had to include her since I was dressed as her at Dragon*Con when I participated in the Superhero Guinness Book attempt

1. Slave Leia from

No drum roll needed! Did you really think it would be anyone else? She speaks for herself. She’s a geek girl icon and worshipped by geek guys everywhere. The Slave Leia costume is the geek girls equivalent to the naughty nurse because it is hot, hot, hot!  “I don’t know who you are or where you’ve come from, but from now on you’ll do as I say, okay?” Anything you say Princess Leia!
